Introduction: Music is an indispensable content of early childhood education. It can cultivate people's character and emotions. Music is very important to young children. The purpose of early childhood music education is to explore and develop people's potential musical qualities and abilities, and it shoulders the important mission of cultivating children's interest and hobbies in music and promoting children to initially feel and express beauty. How to cultivate children's interest in music 1. First, discover children's interest in music. Mr. Chen Heqin said: "All healthy children instinctively love to sing and express the rhythm of music, whether they are playing, walking or working." ?Children have the potential to learn music from an early age. For example, as soon as a child hears a song with a bright, lively, beautiful and lyrical rhythm, he will immediately dance and shake his head. When they hear the march, they will immediately raise their arms and imitate the People's Liberation Army. They will be high-spirited and start walking while saluting. When young children find some toys that make noise, their curiosity will drive them to pick up and shake them, and use them as instruments to sing and accompany them. In daily life, young children are particularly interested in familiar musical images and music with plots that they often come into contact with, and have a strong desire to express themselves. However, children's interest in music does not last long and is easy to transfer. Therefore, teachers must promptly discover children's interest in music through observation, protect the budding interest of children, and create conditions to continuously provide satisfaction so that it can develop steadily and sustainably. 2. Cultivate and stimulate children’s interest in music (1) Let children have more exposure to music. Provide appropriate and continuous musical stimulation in daily life, stimulate children’s happy emotions, and enable children’s musical talents to be fully developed. Play and actively participate in activities. 1. Create a music environment for young children. For example, the class can create a "Music Corner", "Baby TV Station", and "Baby Radio Station" to record songs that children can sing into "karaoke" tapes, allowing children to freely choose and create more opportunities to experience music and express music. 2. Integrate music into children’s daily life. When children come to the kindergarten, soft and sweet music is played in the classroom, so that the children enter a quiet and comfortable music and art environment as soon as they enter the kindergarten. Combine morning exercises, meals, naps and other activities with appropriate music to enrich children's life content, provide children with opportunities to see more, listen more, and practice more, and encourage them to develop good living habits. (2) Stimulate children's desire to participate in music activities 1. When taking music classes for the first time, children are not required to sing or dance. Instead, children are allowed to fully experience, listen to the teacher playing and singing, watch the teacher dance, watch the performances of older brothers and sisters, and stimulate the children to sing. , jumping interest. 2. All music activities start with feelings to stimulate children's interest in music and their desire to participate in music activities. For example, the song "I Love My Little Animals" is newly taught to the small class. This educational activity is arranged as follows: (1) Watch the performances of the brothers and sisters in the top class to arouse interest: ① The teacher beats gongs and drums, and the children in the top class tie up silk ribbons and dance in the Yangko With the accompaniment of music, they danced Yangko into the classroom. The positive emotions of the children in the small class were mobilized at the beginning. The children clapped their little hands and said: "Still watching! Still watching!" ② The children in the big class sang and danced the song "I Love My Little Animals" twice. ③The children in the upper class sang "I Love My Little Animals" while playing rhythm instruments. ④To the musical accompaniment of "I Love My Little Animals", the children in the small class volunteered to pick up rhythm instruments and learn to play rhythm music twice with the children in the big class. (2) The teacher sang and performed the puppet show "I Love My Little Animals" twice. (3) With the musical accompaniment of "I Love My Little Animals", children in the small class voluntarily choose toy animals, play with the little animals while listening to the music, and send the little animals home. (4) The children in the top class, accompanied by Yangko dance music, beat gongs and drums and performed the Yangko dance back. The children in the small class clapped their hands and shouted: "Goodbye, brother and sister! Thank you, brother and sister!" During the 20-minute cheerful music activity, the children experienced music 12 times using different forms such as singing, dancing, puppetry, and rhythm music. The children could not help but sing along. , consciously invest in activities. In this kind of united, friendly, lively and happy environment, young children can easily produce emotional cries. It touches the children emotionally and naturally permeates the moral education of older brothers and sisters loving their younger brothers and sisters, and younger brothers and sisters respecting their older brothers and sisters. (3) Strengthen the gameplay of music classes and make children move. Music classes should be a reflection of children's happiness. Games are a need of children, and they bring happiness and satisfaction to children. Teachers should skillfully arrange the structure and content of music activities according to the teaching purpose, try to be as plot-based as possible, conduct short rhythm and vocal exercises through small games, and teach through stories, toys, rhythm instruments, vocal exercises, etc., so that children can immerse themselves in the music activities. In joy. (4) Teachers should choose teaching materials rationally. Teachers should choose teaching materials that are educational, artistic, and interesting that are suitable for the age characteristics of children and the specific conditions of the children in their class. The teaching materials themselves should be able to arouse children's aesthetic interest. (5) Teachers' teaching methods should be lively and lively. All teaching starts with feelings, using sensory, game, heuristic, discussion, and improvisation methods to fully mobilize children's enthusiasm, initiative and creativity. (6) Mainly praise children who are competitive and strong. Correct evaluation, praise and encouragement, and affirmation of children's progress are a way of strengthening that can stimulate children's self-motivation, self-esteem, and self-confidence. Encouragement methods can Get twice the result with half the effort.

But when praising, more vertical praise should be used, that is, comparing with each child himself. Since children live in different families, their musical qualities and abilities are different, and the impact of education and life experience is also different. Therefore, the children's abilities and interests are also different. There are individual differences. Teachers should see the shining points and progress of each child and give timely praise. Praise will stimulate children's interest. Teachers should create conditions for each child to succeed based on the individual differences in children's interests, so that they can experience the joy of success, cultivate their self-confidence, and enable children to develop perseverance and perseverance to overcome difficulties during the activities, thus greatly enhancing the effect of music teaching. .
